The Joy of Color

Taught by Sarah Saulson

Course Overview

This hands-on workshop encourages weavers to build their confidence in color for weaving. The lecture portions cover basic color theory, but the main focus is on a set of weaving exercises to open new windows on color. In the multi-day workshops we will weave a series of studies exploring color theory as it applies specifically to weaving. As we weave different weave structures and different colors, we will be able to study a wealth of color interactions. As we progress, we’ll also examine the emotional and expressive side of color use.

Each day we will examine the day’s efforts to make new color discoveries. This workshop makes color fun and expressive. This workshop is for all weavers from beginners who can warp a loom and anyone who wants to work more with color. Each participant will work at their own loom.

Maximum number of participants: 15

Student Requirements

For all weavers from beginners who can warp a loom to more experienced.
